Figure I'll get in on the Download line up arguments...

I'm not sure about the Download line up this year either tbh, I guess I'm just too young for alot of it. Most of the bands were past it when I started listening to rock music, it amazes me so many of them can still get a top 3 slot at a festival the size of Download but that's just a testament to the state of rock and metal at the moment in the mainstream I guess.

Even Slipknot seems an odd choice for headliner, I swear they were far more relevent when they were second headliners the past few times they did Download?

But yeah, there are bands I want to see but so far nothing has blown me away and there's no one making me want to instantly book my ticket tommorow. I'd imagine the depth will come through in the end, should be the lower stages I find the most value anyway, and I doubt we've got many bands for those.

yeah i love my metal, but the times ive been to download ive ended up chuckling not at the emo kids, but the metal heads, most of them are just super nerds who go on about how metal they are. black leather and studs doesnt make you metal, just a bit camp and funny to look at

The first time i went to T i knew the camp mapsite off by heart and what there was to do xD but so far no idea what there is to do in the campsite at Download

Download is more tolerant I'd say. You could wear what the f**k you want and nobody would bat an eyelid. There's hundereds to do in the campsite Wed and Thurs and Fri Sat Sun nights with Burlesque, comedians, guitar hero comps, rock karaoke, huge fair ground and cinema, etc. Download has a better vibe I'd say as it is bigger but still feels relaxed.

    • World Cup 2026: What is happening with ticket prices? - BBC Sport   Sounds like Infantino has been learning from his buddy if he's running around claiming its all sold out while quietly dumping tickets below face on assorted secondary websites.
    • Mac DeMarco also cancelled 
    • I'm British so it very much would apply for me.   I mean, it's a moot point as I don't have tickets so will not be in town for this, but I've heard reports of lengthy queues and given I remember Lisbon Airport having a long queue at arrivals even pre-EES when I went in 2023, I seem to guess it might be quite the wait, depending on flight paths.   Certainly, the worst I've had pre-EES was a 45 minute wait for a stamp at Valencia Airport in Spain, where 4 flights to non-EU destinations in quick succession were placed one after the other. So I can't say I'm enthusiastic about what's in store. Or you know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
    • Out of interest keep seeing messages saying last 12 hours etc… to buy you full weekend tickets.  Whats that about? Do they take them off sale early?
